    Obamacare was the implementation of a 1989 Heritage Foundation plan to implement an individual mandated health care system.

    Also by no available metric did Obamacare “improve things”. Healthcare costs rose significantly above the pre-ACA trend, bankruptcy increased, and health outcomes plummeted across nearly all metrics.

        now they just deny coverage with AI generated reasons and force you to nag and beg for them to pay what they’re obligated to. much better! and before that they just paid some corrupt physician to sit on staff and make up bullshit reasons to deny coverage.

      Wrong. The number of insured people went up. The uninsured rate dropped to a historic low of 7.7% by 2023. That is a tangible improvement in the lives of millions of Americans.

        What good is insurance with a deductible I cannot afford to pay? Mandating people buy shitty insurance is not the win you think it is.
